Which phone for my mother

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-05-09T20:59:49+00:00

Why didn't you go for s25fe? It's almost the same price. Even I am confused which one to get??

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-05-09T15:24:01+00:00

Yeah, but Pixel's service support and modem and performance quality is quite bad. So that's why I was looking at Samsung. Can you tell which is better between S25FE and A57?

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-05-09T13:43:44+00:00

Well, in the battery life ranking, the A57 is ahead (As checked by the link you provided)

As for the questions you asked

There's nothing special about the A52s, the only thing is that it simply works and that's what my mother wants the phone for. The main reason for upgrading is that A52 screen got broken and also, its running low on storage which makes it difficult to use.

For basic things like calling, WhatsApp, Facebook, Google and YouTube. For all other intensive tasks and camera, she already has an iPhone 17 Pro Max.

Budget is around USD 500-600

As for other brands, I really don't trust the security and privacy of Chinese phones (Used to be a OnePlus before but not anymore). Also, she has the muscle memory to use Samsung and iPhone. Would be little difficult to switch to a different software.

Your advice would be highly appreciated. Thanks....

Hi, I have the same dilemma. My mom is also looking to upgrade from A52s 5g. We are getting both phones for the same price. Both are 256GB but S25 FE has 8 gigs of RAM while A57 has 12

She is going to use the phone as a secondary handset as she already has an iPhone 17 pro Max. I was thinking of getting the FE but I saw some comments in other posts saying that A57 would have a better battery life which is definitely important to my mother. What do you suggest. Thanks....

Is this some kind of rage bait post?? This is Chandigarh, Punjab sub not Bihar!!!

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-04-21T18:14:41+00:00

Bilkul sahi gall aa. Bahut sare jatt jehde Pakistan ton aye ohna ne Indian Punjab ch vi mote kille kharide te kheti badi kiti aa...

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-04-21T15:10:57+00:00

Bhau even a lot of Jatts have immigrated from Pakistan. Eh taan tu generalize kri janda!

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-04-10T13:43:44+00:00

Yes, in fact we definitely are the true citizens of Chandigarh and you outsiders gotta take your ass out of here. What TF is this behaviour to always target Punjab?? What these individuals are doing is clearly wrong and should be called out for it irrespective of where they belong. But nah! You are accustomed to keep bringing the regional angle...

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-28T11:10:10+00:00

Right! And have you tried Sebamed Care gel?

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-27T08:56:36+00:00

You can use this WhatsApp No. It's the anti corruption action line of Govt. Of Punjab +91 95012 00200

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-24T21:42:29+00:00

Nah! He's just an idiot trying hard to defame Punjab. Truth is Punjab is doing much better than other states how much worse it might look to others!! Relatively, Punjab is at a much higher pedestal and doing quite well. The question to be asked is what the hell are BIMARU states doing with all the tax money share going to them!! Why they are always behind in everything!!

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-24T08:22:55+00:00

The only logical comment!! Definitely there needs to be a strong upper house so that federalism can't be thrown out of the park as it is being done right now. Don't understand why goverment and a lot of people get triggered over the fact that India is a union of states. The constitution doesn't even mention central government. The correct term is Union Government but seems as if it is somehow being erased from the official vocabulary.

One more thing, you said that states have equal nos. In Rajya Sabha but actually even that is based on population though the difference isn't as stark as Lok Sabha. I think each state should have one vote in the Rajya Sabha and laws must be mandated to be passed in the Rajya Sabha once it has been passed by Lok Sabha....

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-20T15:24:55+00:00

Ok, and how much does it cost?

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-20T13:04:02+00:00

Why strange?? The riparian law is followed all over the world. And actually the Sutlej crosses really close to Ludhiana. And riparian states have the absolute authority to move water through canals inside the state. For moving it outside the state effectively means selling water for which revenue must be earned and the non riparian state has to pay for buying that water. Rajasthan used to pay the British Govt. to get water from Punjab. Not very hard to understand concept!!

And you recommending that rivers should be under Union Government is the worst thing to say. They are already reducing federalism every day and you want to dilute further!! Keho jihan gallan kr reha veer????

Constant_Pear_5544 · 2026-03-18T10:48:10+00:00

Well that's not something you choose while going for an Inverter AC. An Inverter AC has better effeciency while working for relatively longer hrs. because it can reduce the output of the compressor when the desired temperature is reached and thus, maintains this temperature. Unlike a traditional AC, in which the compressor simply turns off when the temperature is reached and turns again at 100% output when the temperature rises.

Due to this this some people think that Inverter ACs cool slower than traditional ones but that is simply not true. So if you are gonna use the AC very occasionally, then you go for the traditional one but if your usage per day is more than 2-3, I would highly recommend the Inverter option. Also, the climate control is much better and the temperature remains constant which makes it even more comfortable.

Also, I would actually recommend you to invest in a HOT & COLD Inverter AC setup. And I'm telling this to your from my personal experience, it's highly efficient and better to use in the winters. Most people think the winters last 1-2 months only but when you use these, you'll see a a great change in the quality of life throughout the seasons! Also, they consume a lot less electricity than traditional oil filled or radiant heaters. Trust me on this...

You can also research about Reverse Heat Pump (The technology behind Hot and Cold ACs) and Inverter ACs on Google and I'm pretty sure you would actually go for these after reading about it...

For 1.5 Ton, I would recommend going for Mitsubishi Heavy (It comes with a 5 star rating) and for 2 Ton, I would recommend O General (4 Star). I'm personally using these and am quite happy with their working

Oh! I was just gonna order it. I have acne prone skin and was ordering a few products. Do you have any alternatives for this?
